Ringtones & Ringback Tones

You can get ringtones and Ringback Tones for your phone through the Verizon Tones app, which is available through the app store on most smartphones and basic phones.

Ringtones: When your phone rings, you can hear a song clip from your favorite artist, a holiday tune, a beloved classic and more. Set different ringtones for each contact, so you know who's calling without looking at your phone.

Ringback Tones: When friends call you, they'll hear actual song clips until you pick up the call or they're sent to voicemail. You can personalize your Ringback Tones, so each person or whole groups hear a specific song you set for them.
